**To create a generated template from scanned resources**

The following ``create-generated-template`` example creates a generated template named ``MyTemplate`` from scanned resources. ::

    aws cloudformation create-generated-template \
        --generated-template-name MyTemplate \
        --resources file://resources.json

Contents of ``resources.json``::

    [
        {
            "ResourceType": "AWS::EKS::Cluster",
            "LogicalResourceId":"MyCluster",
            "ResourceIdentifier": {
                "ClusterName": "MyAppClusterName"
            }
        },
        {
            "ResourceType": "AWS::AutoScaling::AutoScalingGroup",
            "LogicalResourceId":"MyASG",
            "ResourceIdentifier": {
                "AutoScalingGroupName": "MyAppASGName"
            }
        },
        {
            "ResourceType": "AWS::EKS::Nodegroup",
            "LogicalResourceId":"MyNodegroup",
            "ResourceIdentifier": {
                "NodegroupName": "MyAppNodegroupName"
            }
        },
        {
            "ResourceType": "AWS::IAM::Role",
            "LogicalResourceId":"MyRole",
            "ResourceIdentifier": {
                "RoleId": "arn:aws::iam::123456789012:role/MyAppIAMRole"
            }
        }
    ]

Output::

    {
      "Arn":
        "arn:aws:cloudformation:us-east-1:123456789012:generatedtemplate/7fc8512c-d8cb-4e02-b266-d39c48344e48",
      "Name": "MyTemplate"
    }
